Public bug reported:
We are in the process of switching ubuntu-drivers to installing linux-
restricted-modules versions of NVidia drivers when it can, but this
fails when Ubiquity invokes ubuntu-drivers, like:
Setting up linux-modules-nvidia-440-5.4.0-25-generic (5.4.0-25.29) ...

It's a problem with the nesting of debconf: Ubiquity itself is using
debconf, and ubuntu-drivers is installing -nvidia- packages which
themselves also use debconf, and we don't know how to connect ubuntu-
drivers use of debconf with the ubiquity one.
